Walker

("Back to the Way I Was" by Emily Bell playing)

Come on, come on.

- Keep going. - No! (Laughs)

Come on.

- (grunts, laughs) - Hey!

You can't do that.

You want some cheese with that wine?

- (laughing) - (grunts) Guys! Come on!

No. Hold up. That's not fair!

Whoo!

Ha, too slow, suckers.

- The Stetson is mine. - Okay, what's going on here?

Did you run track in high school or something?

Are you accusing me of being some sort of ringer, Walker?

I'm accusing you of being fast.

'Cause I was on Mathletes.

Dad, you should really start focusing more on cardio.

Or you could just cut out the junk food.

All right, thanks.

Oh, so this is what we get

- for finally inviting you, huh? - Mm-hmm.

Hey, Dad, Captain James is inside,

says there's, like, a seating chart emergency, so...

All right, I'm on it. Uh... I got to shower.

- Yes, you do. (Laughs) Yeah. - Nice run.

Ranger Barnett, a word.

Mrs. Walker, those for me?

You wish. I promised Kelly

a spectacular wedding bouquet, and I aim to please.

I'm also in charge of RSVPs and catering.

Okay, so I s... I-I see where you're going with this.

I bet you do.

His wedding is tomorrow. I know, I know.

And pretty much everyone is bringing a plus-one.

Well, except for Cassie, but she's got a pass

since her last boyfriend turned out to be a homicidal anarchist.

Well, I was planning to ask Lana,

the woman that I met when I was undercover with those...

homicidal anarchists.

But bringing her to Cap's wedding is obviously a horrible idea.

I mean, the optics of that alone, it's just...

- Right, optics. - Yeah.

Look, Trey, okay, you're basically family,

so I am just gonna come straight out with it:

You have had a tough year.

I've seen it, and so has everyone else,

but I've also seen how well you've handled everything,

and how much good you're doing as a Ranger.

But, at some point, you have to do good for yourself.

You deserve to be happy.

And you deserve someone who makes you happy.

- Okay. Oh, my gosh, you won. - Mm-hmm.

- You better get up and help me. - (laughter)

That finishes off six.

Yeah, I know, I'm fine with table six.

I'm talking about seven. You put my cousin Janet

at the same table as my Aunt Lisi.

- There will be blood. - Okay. Not a problem.

- Boys. - Hi.

Sorry to interrupt this musical chairs, but work stuff.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, we all agreed no work stuff until after the wedding.

I know, I know, but I just got a call from the FBI.

Tessa Graves.

Okay.

Don't tell me the case against Grey Flag is falling apart.

Their case is in great shape, actually.

And Tessa said that

us taking down Kevin had a lot to do with that.

Anyway, she's putting together a Joint Task Force

to go after a fentanyl ring back east, and they need

folks with experience working big, complicated cases, like us.

Hold up, you're telling me the FBI

is trying to poach my two best Rangers without even calling me first?

That's what you're telling me? Relax, Cap. It's not poaching.

It's an eight-week operation. July and August.

So, if we did it, we'd be back by September.

Okay. What'd you tell her?

That I was flattered,

but I would need time to mull

and speak to you, obviously.

Uh, same here. Flattered, very flattered.

Honestly, right now, before making any major life decisions,

I feel like I got to do some work on the seating chart,

- so... Excuse me. - Yes. Yes. - (Chuckles)

- Hey, get Janet away from Lisi. - I know.

- Like opposite ends of the room. - Okay, I got it.

- Facing opposite directions. - I got it. I'm on it.

Cass.

You can be straight with me. Is this something you want?

It's a great opportunity,

but Austin finally feels like home.

And I'm not sure I want to spend my summer

chasing drug dealers in the Everglades with the FBI.

Understood. But, hey, for what it's worth,

you would be perfect for it.

Not that I want to lose you, not even for eight weeks, but...

Seriously, career-wise, it could be a really good thing.

Thanks, Cap.

All right.

All right.

All right, Augie, where we at with the bubble machine?

Uh, what bubble machine?

The one I asked you to rent for the ceremony.

Dad, we do not need bubbles.

Yes, we do, Stella.

They'll be festive. Look,

I promised Kelly everything would be perfect on the day.

Why is everyone ignoring my vision?

Cordi, chill.

Okay, we're doing our best.

Everything's gonna work out just fine.

Okay, I think your brother is just

worried that the old Walker curse is gonna ruin all our fun.

Oh, there's no such thing as a Walker curse.

Uh, I could make a case.

Remember Serrano and the surveillance cameras?

Okay, we could also make a list of all

the amazing things that have happened at Walker Ranch,

including, but not limited to, Captain James' wedding.

Uh, quick question, has anyone checked the weather lately?

They're expecting freezing rain tonight

and possible flash floods tomorrow.

You're kidding.

You're not kidding. She's not kidding.

Okay, okay. Time to pivot, people. Uh,

- ideas? Yep.

- Postpone it a week. We can't.

James and Kelly leave the next morning

for their honeymoon, same as you and Mama.

- Oh. I-I have an idea.

Why don't we go check out the old hay barn

that's next to the covered arena?

Okay, Liam, I don't have time for that.

Okay, fine, we will go and check.

That place seems pretty idyllic for a wedding.

Well... (sighs)

"Idyllic" is one way to describe it.

Okay, well...

what about The Side Step? Can we fit everybody in there?

Not without cutting the guest list.

Look, I know this is gonna sound insane,

but we're just gonna have to make this work.

Well, I guess I could get the backhoe

and move all the junk to out back.

Hm. Better idea is move it

- straight into a dumpster. - Mm.

You know, we could repair these beams

and hang some lights from them, maybe a disco ball.

And we have leftover lumber from the rescue stables,

- plenty of tools... Yeah, well, now

you're talking about construction. What about a crew?

Well, I've got the day off and plenty of experience

with catered gigs, so put me to work, Coach.

And not to brag,

but I did get a B-minus in shop class, so...

Well, I suppose I could ask a couple of the ranch hands for help.

And Jim from DeMarco's, the feed store... he owes me a favor.

I thought he wanted to murder you.

He had a little legal dispute with a local vendor

that I might've helped him out with, so now, he loves me.

And I can text Ben.

He has plenty of experience working big events.

This is gonna be great.

Hey, teamwork makes the dream work.

Oh, my God, that is so cheesy.

How you doing over there, kiddo?

- Good. Okay, let me see it.

Ah, let me, uh...

All right.

- Look at that. - (chuckles) Thanks, Dad.

- How do I look? - Not too bad, buddy.

Not bad at all.

I mean, you know, w-we can't have you showing up your old man, so

let me just do a little something.

- Hey, hey. - (both laugh)

- This took a while. - All right. Let's get changed.

Hey, Dad?

- Yeah? - Uh...

Remember how you said that, like, if I needed to talk...?

Yeah. What's up?

You know, I'm gonna be a senior next year,

- and I've been... - Yeah.

Really thinking about my future.

Yeah, I bet. Sure.

And I actually might know what I, what I want to do.

Ah, okay, okay. Let me guess,

- You want to pursue music? - I want to enlist in the army.

I know the military isn't exactly

what you and mom had in mind for me,

and, to be honest, I never thought I'd be interested

in it, either, but, like...

this year just kind of changed that, you know?

Look, Dad, I've been flailing, all right?

I-I've been looking for direction and just a sense of purpose.

And you feel like

the military will give you that?

Yeah, like what the Marines did for you.

- That was different. - How?

It...
